PREFATORY  NOTE 

The  principle  upon  which  subjects  have  been  classified  in  the  one  or 
the  other  of  the  two  following  lists  is  admittedly  not  susceptible  of  rigid 
application — opinion  may  differ,  and  it  may  be  conceded  that  in  the  case 
of  a  considerable  number  of  the  subjects  it  has  not  been  applied  with  un- 
erring judgment  and  with  the  greatest  possible  consistency.  The  lists  are 
printed  in  response  to  numerous  requests  for  information  as  to  the  actual 
practice  of  the  Library  of  Congress,  and  are  not  offered  as  a  guide  to  be 
unquestioningly  followed. 

List  (A)  comprises  the  subjects  in  which  local  differentiation  or  char- 
acter, or  predominant  interest,  is  regarded  as  pertaining  to  the  whole 
country  or  state,  and  common  to  all  or  the  greater  part  of  the  geographical 
or  other  local  subdivisions  within  it.  The  headings  are  therefore  divided 
by  country  or  state,  with  further  subdivision  by  province,  county,  city  or 
other  locality,  except  as  limited  by  list  (C).  Examples:  Agriculture — Eng- 
land; Agriculture  —  England  —  Devon;  Botany  —  Ohio;  Botany — Ohio — 
Hamilton  Co.;  Criminal  statistics — India — Burma;  Education — Germany — 
Berlin;  Education — Prussia. 

Among  other  headings  it  includes  the  following  groups  of  subjects: 
1.  Agricultural  headings,  fisheries,  mining,  minerals,  ores,  etc.  2.  Scientific 
subjects  (e.  g.  Botany,  Geology,  Zoology)  3.  Educational  subjects.  4. 
Classes  of  persons  (e.  g.  Blind,  Deaf  and  dumb)  5.  Sports,  etc.  6.  Cer- 
tain legal  headings.  7.  Inspection  headings  (e.  g.  Meat  inspection;  Steam- 
boats— Inspection) 

Exception  is  made  in  the  case  of  certain  classes  of  institutions  (Univer- 
sities and  colleges,  Libraries,  Hospitals  and  other  social  foundations) 
whose  development  is  largely  or  exclusively  identified  with  cities,  and 
where  the  primary  subject  interest  is  local.  While  these  headings,  like  the 
others  in  list  (A),  are  subdivided  by  country,  state,  or  province,  etc.,  they 
are  themselves  made  subdivisions  under  the  names  of  cities  when  applied 
to  works  so  limited  (e.  g.  Libraries — Massachusetts;  but  Boston — Libraries, 
not  Libraries — Massachusetts — Boston,  or  Libraries — Boston)  This  usage 
is  specified  in  the  list  under  each  subject  so  treated. 

List  (B)  comprises  the  subjects  or  distinctive  phases  of  subjects,  such 
as  social,  political,  economic,  or  cultural  movements,  institutions,  industries, 
classes  or  groups  of  persons,  etc.,  peculiar  to,  or  identified  in  interest  with, 
smaller  regions  or  localities.  The  headings  are  therefore  subdivided 
directly  by  province,  city,  or  other  locality  as  the  case  may  be.  Examples: 
Architecture — Card,  France  (Dept.)  ;  Cost  and  standard  of  living — Paris; 
Fish  trade  —  Burma;  Taxation  —  Suffolk  Co.,  Mass.;  Typhoid  fever  — 
Omaha,  Neb.
